FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 3 ) ( Fint Revision) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 8 March 1985; after the draft finalized by the Rubber Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council. 0.2 Test methods for rubber latex had been originally covered in the following Indian Standards: F", ruUrntJlrub1Hr UJuJl IS: 3708 ( Part 1 }-1966IS : 3708 ( Part 2 )-1968f FDT st"",. bulDllieru rubbn La," IS : 4511 ( Part 1 )-1967: Since some of the test methods covered in the above standards were common, the concerned committee had decided some years ago to unify and publish a separate series of methods of test which would be applicable to all types of latices - natural as well as synthetic. Accordingly, the following six test methods had been covered under IS : 9316. COIlteDt, -Methocb of tell (or Datural rubber latl'X: Part I Dry rubber content, sludf': demity, total alblinity, KOH-number, mechanical stability, volatile fatty acid _her, III. total nil:rOlen. total copper, total iron, totallDaDpn6e and total aah. tMethocb of test (or natural rubMr latex, Part 2. ptetbods of tests for Ityrene-butadiene rubber ( SBR) latices: Part 1 Determinati_ of dry polYIlle', 'H, demty, residual styreDe, bound Ityrenl' and _p content. 3 IS t 3708 ( Part 3 ). 1985 IS : 9316 Methods of test for rubber latex: Determination of surface tension Determination of viscosity Determination of coagulum content Determination of total solids content Drawing of samples Determination of pH Part 1-1979 Part 2-1979 Part 3-1979 Part 4-1979 Part 5-1979 Part 6-1982 0.2.1 As a result of further rethinking on the subject, it has now been decided to re-designate the test methods common to natural and synthetic rubber latices as RL series; test methods for natural rubber latex as NRL series and test methods for styrene-butadiene rubber latex as SBRL series. Consequently, test methods for rubber latex have been rationalized into the following three series: a) IS: 9316 Unified methods of test applicable to both natural an d synthetic rubber latices - RL series; b) IS: 3708 Methods of test applicable to natural rubber latexNRL series; and c) IS: 4511 Methods of test applicable to styrene-butadiene rubber latex - SBRL series. 0.3 The existing Indian Standards under IS : 3708 (Parts 1* and 2f), IS : 4511 (Part It) and IS : 9316 ( Parts I to 6) are being gradually replaced by separate standards under the above three series, designated by the appropriate NRL, SBRL or RL series, respectively. 0.3.1 The methods covered under NRL 13, NRL 14 and NRL 15 of IS : 3708 ( Part 1 )-196/1 which are also under revision, have been proposed to be covered under the RL series in IS : 9316 ( ruuler TI11UUm ). 0.4 In order to facilitate cross-reference, it has been decided to retain the original discrete NRL series numbers assigned to various teat methods in IS : 3708 ( Parts I and 2 ) in the revised parts of IS : 3708. 0....1 For proper referencing of the existing test methods and the DeW methods under revision, a statement showing corresponding methods is given in Appendix A. 0.5 In preparing the above series, the need to align the test methods with the corresponding ISO standards/DISfDP wherever available has also .Metbocb of test for natural rubber later.
